The trend dropped 0.7 lb. The intake average came in at 2,186 kcal/day, about 186 over the 2,000 target.
If maintenance is somewhere around 2,500, then 2,186 leaves a deficit of around 300/day, which over seven days accounts for roughly half a pound of fat. The scale confirms it: the full 0.7 lb drop is broadly consistent with the calorie gap.
Next week, same target, same method, no diet changes. The point of the experiment is consistency, not heroics.
